A motorist who made several unsafe lane changes and nearly plowed into the rear of another car while hitting 111 mph on Interstate 205 told the Oregon State Police trooper who pulled her over Sunday night that she was rushing a passenger to the hospital.

The trooper noticed she was "visibly intoxicated."

The trooper checked with the car's passenger, who said she was not having any problems. Even so, the trooper requested an ambulance come to the scene as a precaution.

The crew said the passenger was fine.

Florence Rea, 53, charged with driving while under the influence of intoxicants, reckless driving, exceeding 100 mph and several other traffic violations. She as lodged in the Clackamas County Jail.
